Review Chasing Hummingbirds is a celebration of self-reflection and growth. Montero Hernandez gently coaxes us to do a little"curious gazing" at our lives to learn from our personal stories, as she has learned from her own. She recounts a rich history of strong, flawed family members and the intergenerational trauma that shaped her youth. Her tales are compassionate and forgiving, ultimately revealing to the reader a roadmap for self-discovery. Its a beautifully written meditation on making meaning of life experiences and a perfect tonic for the chaos and uncertainty of the current moment. -Karen Oehme, Director, Student Resilience Project, Florida State UniversityThe process of personal transformation is fundamentally an act of resiliency. The accounts, realizations, and lessons wefind in Chasing Hummingbirds show both the sensibility and courage that can reside in the human heart and mind. MonteroHernandezs brave and honest narrative shows the value of curiously gazing who we are, cultivating our ability to love, andauthoring our lives deliberately. In this thoughtfully written and inspiring book, we find a caring and perceptive voice thatreminds us to be brave, curious, loving, compassionate, and disciplined to find who we can become beyond the trauma orsuffering of our past experiences. Chasing Hummingbirds is a well-structured invitation to re-imagine ourselves through theconscious and continual re-making of our life stories. -Gabriela Lilián González Flores, Humanistic Gestalt TherapistThe essence of our being reverberates the echoes of our past. Montero Hernandezs Chasing Hummingbirds reminds us thatthese reflections carry a propensity for dissonance but also, if allowed through "curious gazing," for growth and resolution.Through personal stories, wit, and a dash of humor we find ourselves amidst Montero Hernandezs life, growing alongsideher, identifying and empathizing with a plight whose cords resonate deeply. We see a heart yearning for growth despitesetbacks and, if we allow it, it dawns on us that this struggle is a reflection of our own and her resolve and process becomeours. May her growth mindset be yours-to find beauty in uncertainty and the ever-evolving narrative of your lifes story.-David Hoyt, Computer Scientist and Father Details ISBN1647466911 Short Title Chasing Hummingbirds Language English Year 2021 ISBN-10 1647466911 ISBN-13 9781647466916 Format Hardcover Subtitle Discover the Empowering Force of Your Life Story Pages 172 Imprint Author Academy Elite Publication Date 2021-05-30 UK Release Date 2021-05-30 Author Virginia Montero Hernandez Publisher Author Academy Elite Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
